    Hey Dodgeboy30....

    I am bringing my industrial magnet to help pick up all the pieces of metal from the track if you decide to blow one of those 727 transmissions again.

    Don't worry, I got you covered bro!

    Anyone from central TX driving up and need a crew member? Not sure if I can pull it off but with a ride and a reason I'll have the motivation to try. Not looking for a free ride. I can pay my fair share and would love to help out a needy crew. I can even do a little video documentary of the trip.
     
  9. Nah, I was thinking more like street sweeper.... but thank you very much for your generous offer.... :p

    Is there an air compressor at the track? I'll have a tank but my slicks don't have tubes and leak over time.

    I certainly don't doubt it but I don't think I'll come up as a lone wolf FNG, but would be happy to ride up with a crew and do some car pushing.

    Next year Maybe i'll try for a sub-1-hour ET for my stock `41 Chebby.

    Well as I told Eric, it has become more than clear were not going to get the Falcon done for the Meltdown. Been real busy at work and found out a few months ago that we have one on the way so there are some things to get done around the house before that time comes. I would rather not rush the Falcon and have it done right than have problems at the track. Instead Steve is going to bring the GTO again and I'm bringing my roadster. Were planning on being there on Friday.
